Adopt or Foster a Dog

Pet Rescue is dedicated to providing cats and dogs with a second chance to find loving and safe homes.
Dogs currently available for adoption are featured below. New animals are added as they become available.
You can help! Please share their profiles, because every adoption makes room for another deserving pet.

Please be sure to check the status of the dog you may be interested in adopting.  The status of a particular dog will be one of the following:

  • Adoptable - Dog has not yet been adopted out to a family although there may be applications that are still in the process of being evaluated.  In addition, following approval the applicant will meet the dog with their family to make sure it is a good fit.
  • Adoption Pending - Approved applicant has scheduled a meet and greet with the dog and an adoption seems likely.
  • Adopted- Dog has been adopted but will continue to remain our website for a short period of time following the actual adoption.

Please come meet our adoptable dogs at our Meet & Greet, every Saturday from 11:30am - 1:30pm at Pet Rescue, 7 Harrison Ave, Harrison NY 10528. Please call us with any questions you may have about our sweet dogs: 914-835-3332

A little About ZZ Lorax- Courtesy Listing...

Introducing Lorax, a charming 12-pound, 7-year-old Border Terrier mix with an unforgettable personality. Rescued from a local shelter, her past is a mystery, but her future looks bright. Lorax is housebroken when kept on a schedule and lives peacefully with a resident cat. She would flourish in a quieter home, ideally with a couple or a single person. While Lorax gets along with older children she knows, she prefers a calm environment and might find a bustling household overwhelming. She is affectionate with familiar faces but may bark at new visitors due to her cautious nature.  An enthusiast of leash walks, Lorax is currently receiving training to manage her reactivity to other dogs and people. Her ideal home would have a fenced yard for her to explore and play in safely. She would thrive with an experienced dog owner who can continue her training and provide the structured environment she needs.  We will not be able to accept applications from first time dog owners. Wagging Tails will provide a training session to help Lorax acclimate to her new home, ensuring a smooth transition for both her and her new family. Her inquisitive and intelligent nature, paired with her striking mustache, makes her an exceptional and adorable companion.  If you're ready to offer a loving, patient, and experienced home, Lorax is eager to meet you and start her new adventure.   www.waggingtailsdogrescueny.org
